A LAD |
| |
| When I was a lad, |
|
I used to
walk with my dad. |
|
My, oh my,
it is sad. |
|
His
friends told him I'd never be. |
| |
|
But dad, in wise ways, said, |
|
What is
said is not so. |
|
Go out in
the world, my son. |
|
You can
make a go. |
| |
|
I've
climbed the mountain high, |
|
in my
plane. |
|
I touched
the face of God, |
|
in the
great big sky. |
| |
|
I've met
kings, queens and Godly men, |
|
I've
helped poor and changed the rich. |
|
to help
others as they passed through, |
|
So many
things, I've done. |
| |
|
God has given me health and wealth, |
|
in the
form of a wife and little ones. |
|
The very
best under this sun, |
|
barring
everyone's. |
| |
|
Today, I
walk with my son, |
|
What I
heard then, |
|
I heard
again, |
|
So I told
my son. |

A DIFFERENT WORLD
|
|
|
|
I’ve
seen a different world, |
|
Most have never seen. |
|
A world of tears and fears, |
|
Where there’s very little to cheer. |
|
|
|
Lonely nights and sad days, |
|
Where most relearn to pray.
|
|
Cries from the young, |
|
Fright from the old. |
| |
|
Where only the strong, |
|
And sometimes the smart,
|
|
Are left to be, |
|
From evils men’s deeds.
|
| |
|
Where a star at night, |
|
Can only be seen, |
|
Through the bars of eternity, |
|
As one longs to be free. |
|
|
|
Where one learns to laugh or die, |
|
And just to keep sane, |
|
They call out the name,
|
|
Once taken in vain |
|
God, God, Oh My God. |

THE POWER IS WITHIN YOU
|
| |
|
"When troubled times come, and they surely will, |
|
Don't lose courage! |
| |
|
Be ever
mindful that something great |
|
comes out of every misfortune. |
| |
|
Never
forget that after the darkness comes the light! |
|
In your gravest hour, know
that this too shall pass. |
|
|
|
Believe in yourself, trust in God, open your mind |
|
and accept that anything is possible |
|
As
long as you possess the daring to dream it! |
| |
|
You can reach for the stars |
|
and be all that you desire to be. |
| |
|
The power of life is within you; |
|
Find
it, and you shall find yourself..." |
